cent lower than in the field.
From this we can see that considerable
bodies of timber in Greeley county, land
of course in many other western counties,)
would act as damper to the hot winds that
blow occasionally from the south, and
also protect our crops from their dying
influence.
Again, as an aid to the farmer, bodies
of timber break the winds of winter, there
by saving him much feed which his stock
would, we're they unprotected, consume,
and even lay on fat in paying quantities.
"a penny saved is penny earned"
70 sum up from this standpoint We
find that it pays, because
First-It favOrs rainfall.
Second-It protects crops in summer
from drying Winds and
Third-It protects stock in winter from
cold winds.
We have given few of the indirect
benefits OF forest to the farmer; now let
us take some of the direct ones.
First, as fuel producer, a grove of ten
acres will in eight or ten years time con-
tain saplings in sufficient quantities to
supply any common family with fuel the
year round, except probably month or so
in severe winter.
Second, many small timbers, such as
fence-pOsts, material for aX-handles, pick
handles etc. Can be taken from grove.
whose trees are comparatively young; and
In after years trees large enough for small
saw timber can be procured therefrom,
even in the planters lifetime.
The Schuttler Wagon factory lately
bnilt a wagon of cultivated Illinois tim
Der, using some twenty varieties in its con-
struction, to show the possibilities of tree
growing on prairie soil. All the timber
was furnished by Mr.. A. r. Whitney of
Franklin Grove, Illinois, and none of it
is over forty years Old from the seed. One
honey locust log used was Is inches in di-
ameter and would have been sufficient
material for the entire running-gear.
Thus We see the possibilities of forest
planting and how it pays by direct and
indirect means, but We shall reserve for
our next paper the way it pays indirectly
as Il valuable improvement.

made by DR.. Victor G. Vaughan, OF
Michigan University, into the develop
ment of tyrotoxicon, the poison which
he has detected as product of decom-
posing milk, and he recommends a
number of precautions to prevent its
being developed. Milk, he says, should
be cooled down to Il temperature of
sixty degrees Fahrenheit within an
hour after it is taken from the COW;
and it should be kept only in tin, glass
or porcelain vessels. Tyrotoxicon, we
are told, has been found not only in
milk and cheese, but also in ice cream

SPREADING MANURE.
How 1T Can be Done economically and

How 1t Can be Done Economically and In
Short Space of Time.
A manure spreader is of advantage
as far as the spreading is concerned,
but disadvantage in hauling to the
ield. 1t might do very well if three
farmers would each purchase one, and
agree to lend to each other so that one
man could have the use of the three
until all his manure was spread. Sup
pose, now, you have three hundred
loads of manure to spread, and but one
manure spreader and you desire to en-
ploy your three men to do the work
the query is. how can you economically
manage the labor?
Many hours of valuable time are lost
by bad management in handling
manure. The average man will unload
in small piles load of manure weigh
ing $500 to $500 pounds in ten min
utes. A man must be active to spread
that amount evenly and shake it to
pieces thoroughly, in forty-six minutes.
little practice will enable man to
unload and partially scatter the load
in fifteen minutes. Preparatory to
spreading with a drag l distribute
as follows: Partially scatter on one side
of the wagon, making the manure cover
space on the ground as wide as the
drag is. say four feet; drive the wagon
in straight line until unloaded; begin
with the next load where you started
with the first and throw the manure off
SO that space of about four feet will
remain uncovered. After unloading
say twenty loads in this way and before
the manure has had time to become
hard and dry, cross these rows with the
drag, making the horses travel rapidly.
A fast walk does well, but a slow trot
is better. Very good work can be done
in this way. In Ii hours l have spread
II to Is loads, unloaded as above d.
rected. The most of it was pulverized
better and finer than you would ordi-
narily do with pitchfork; some long
manure needed spreading with the fork
afterwards. The manure was dragged
three times. Notice the time saved.
Placing the time of team equal to that
of man, nearly six hours labor is
saved by spreading with drag. -. E.

COLLARS FOR HORSES.
why Every Animal Should Have a Perfect.
Fitting Harness.

ritb"S haihcsS'
A repcntant colored woman arose in
the conference room and said: LET
every tub stand on its own bottom
There is volume of meaning in that
short cxhortation. So we say to farm,
ers. let every horse have collar that
will tit his neck as comfortably as an
easy hat sits on a farmers head. Lei
every horse also have n harness that
will fit his body quite as well as pain
of new shoes fit the feet of an intelli
gent driver. A collar should not be SO
long that one can thrust his leg in the
large space between the lower end OF
the collar and the neck of the horse.
Neither should the collar be 50 broad
that man can put one arm between
the collar and one side of the animal $
neck. More than this, the collar should
not be 80 short as to choke the horse
when he is drawing.
Y A few years ago we were visiting a
neighbor who was hauling stone with
hisS horse-team, one of which was a
largo and beautiful young horse whose
neck was too large for any collar in the
possession of its owner. The result
was, that short collar so severely
choked the young horse that he fell
fatty to the ground four times, while
drawing load less than one-fourth of
a mile. At our suggestion the lower
end of the collar was cut apart and the
strap at the top of the names was adj
iusted SO that the lower ends of the
collar were more than three inches
apart. The horse was not choked
again by the collar. Last season a
neighbor, who had II good old horse,
could not crowd a collar over the ami
mails head, that was small enough tc
suit his neck. The consequence was
the large collar CALLED the neck badly.
We cut ont of the lower end of the col
lar piece about three inches long
The collar then suited the small neck
so that no more wounds were nude.
A harness that fits the body of large
horse will not suit smaller one, un

tom 80 that there will be good f;
when the harness is to be used on ;

iron eyes, or loops, that hold the side
straps o the names, are usually PLACED
quite too high or too far up from tn,
lower ends of the names. For small
horses we have taken the staples out o
the names and put them two to tire,
inches lower. The point of draft is fire
quently halfway from the lower to the
upper side of the animal's neck where
rs, the draft should he not more thar
two inches above the point of the
shoulder. Let the strap be let on
longer or buckled shorter until every
part of a harness fits properly. Chris,

Importation of Sparrows.

Brooklyn, N. Y, claims the discredit
of being the first to introduce that i'm
mense nuisance, the English sparrow
The first importation was made by the
directors of the Brooklyn Institute in
1850. There were eight pairs, but
they all died. In 1852 three dozen
sparrows were turned loose, and they
proceeded to take possession of the
city. The detestable bird has now es-
tablished itself in thirty-iive States and
five Territories, and at the present rate
of progress will soon overspread the
whole continent. The sparrows were
expected to make themselves useful by
destroying insects, but they only de-
stroy vegetation, and the Agricultural
Department estimates their mischief at
millions yearly. Chicago Times.
